Abstract

A sensor arrangement for a braking system of a vehicle is disclosed comprising a connection interface, a control unit, and a sensor. The sensor has an external interface with electrical contacts via which the sensor is connected to the control unit. The control unit is connected to and supplied with power via the connection interface and exchanges data with a higher-level unit via the connection interface. The sensor is provided power via the electrical contact points and provides electrical output signals via the electrical contact points. A first contact point provides a first electrical output signal and is connected to the connection interface via a first switching element such that the first contact point is connected to the connection interface when the first switching element is in the deenergized state and is disconnected from the connection interface when the first switching element is in the energized state.
